FreightSource.
Freight forwarders prospect by digging through raw government trade data. FreightSource turns HMRC customs releases into ranked, saveable leads.
How the week used to go.
Prospecting means trawling raw HMRC customs releases
No way to tell which importers are genuinely active
Leads tracked in spreadsheets and lost between colleagues
Big prospect lists make everything slow
How it goes now.
Search by commodity code (HS2/HS4) or postcode and radius
Every trader shows months active and peak entries — a real track record
Saved traders move through a pipeline — prospect, client, lapsed, rejected — with timestamped notes
Dashboards stay instant even with 100-plus saved traders
From problem to platform.
The build, at a glance.
The trader board
A searchable board built on HMRC customs trade data — filter by HS2/HS4 commodity code or postcode and radius, and see import/export activity per company.
Trader detail & checks
Full trade history per company, with link-outs to Companies House, LinkedIn and Google for further checks.
Pipeline & saved searches
Save traders into a pipeline with timestamped notes, re-run saved searches, and export trader lists to CSV on the Pro plan.
Companion Android app
The same prospecting on the move, alongside the web platform.
Accounts & billing
